Card of the Day - Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth



Level 7 / Fish / WATER
ATK 2800 / DEF 2200
Once per turn you can discard 1 card to Special Summon as many Level 4 or lower Fish-Type monsters as possible from your deck.  A monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot declare an attack and it't effect(s) is negated while on the field.  If this card is targeted by a Spell, Trap or Effect monster's effect, you can tribute 1 other Fish-Type monster to negate the effect and destroy that card.

Ok so the first thing you need to do when looking at this card is get over it's name.  Ya it's impossible to remember so I will call it Big Fish, which is generally accepted by the internet as an appropriate name.  Right now this card is, in my opinion, the single card that makes a fish deck playable.  For this card, the Level is important because with A Legendary Ocean, it only requires one tribute.  That makes it quite good in ALO decks.  The level/attribute/type doesn't make much of a difference other then that.

This cards main power is in it's ability to be a +3.  Discard one card, just one and you get four monsters.  This card can OTK so easily it's not even funny.  The best thing to do is Special Summon a Fishborg, two Oyster Meister and that Level 1 fish.  That let's you get a Shooting Quasar Dragon  while gaining massive card advantage.

Another option is to grab 2 Level 4 fish tuners and 2 Level 4 fish non-tuners and which you can turn into any number of level 8s like Stardust, Scrap Dragon or Red Dragon Archfiend.  The fact that they can't attack and their effects are negated really isn't a downside at all.  If you keep the monsters on the field for an entire turn you are really doing it wrong.

The second effect is pretty pointless.  Since, as I have already stated, you wont keep the monsters this thing Special Summons on the field for long, chances are you wont have to destroy one to save this.  As for bringing this out, there are tons of options.  A Legendary Ocean, Mausoleum of the Emporer, Treeborn Frog and anything really.

This card is just fantastic and has made Fish good.  Hyper Librarian and Formula combined with this and Fishborg makes huge fields with more advantage.  Thanks for reading, bye!
